Solar and wind energy production forecasts for global cities
Clean panels monthly. Keep vents clear. Monitor daily output trends for anomalies.
Turbines work best at 12-25 m/s. Shut down above 25 m/s for safety.
Charge during peak solar hours. Use off-peak grid rates as backup.
Track daily kWh production vs consumption. Aim for 70%+ self-consumption.
Insulate well before adding renewables. LED lights reduce demand by 75%.
Combine solar + battery + smart metering. Consider community energy sharing.
